Farrakhan is a felon?..............

I would like to see where if you do not pay income taxes, you do not get to vote. If you work for state government, you may not vote in state elections, if you work for federal government you do not get to vote in federal elections...we have to stop this corruption of buying votes by the democrat party...

[laweeks]

Yeah but . . . wait . . . illegal aliens, felons, and and dead people will be voting as democrats in the next election . . . they can’t win without these votes . . . stay tuned . . .

Main and Vermont are the only states that allow incarcerated people to vote. The rest of the states have various laws.

I’m a felon (drunk driving) and I’m a legal voter here in Michigan. Voting rights are restored here as long as a person isn’t incarcerated, on parole or probation.

[Lancey Howard]

Whoa... Getting felons the right to vote has been a major Democrat priority for decades.
The 9th Circus is very rat/goofball friendly, so I hope they rule quickly and allow this issue to get before the Supreme Court where there is still a majority of normal human beings (barely).

[SJSAMPLE]

I don’t know if the VRA is the correct tool, but people who’ve “paid their dues to society” have paid them. If they’re off parole, LET THEM VOTE and allow them to rejoin society as full participants.

Unless, of course, we prefer to create a permanant under-class of (nominal) citizens.

[apillar]

The liberals that are pushing this might get more than they bargined for. Using their same logic the government shouldn’t be able to deny felons the right to own guns.

[Little Ray]

Felons should be allowed to vote or own arms until the demonstrate that they’re ready for the responsibility. Jail time is PUNISHMENT. It isn’t “paying your dues.”

[sionnsar]

IIRC, this case was over permitting incarcerated felons, and those under supervision, to vote. Washington routinely restores the right to vote at end of sentence.

The 9th Circuuit Court of Appeals:

Overture, curtain, lights! If we can - we'll give them rights ... No more rehearsing or nursing a fart ... We'll trash every law by heart!

Overture, curtain, lights! This is it. We'll start some fights! And oh, what fights we'll pit! On with the farce, this is it!

Tonight what fights we'll pit! On with the farce, this is it!

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

We know they will vote democrat.

[calcowgirl]

...disenfranchising felons.

LOL. So many sleepless nights worrying about those poor disenfranchised felons.

[PATRIOT1876]

Does that mean most of Congress can’t vote?
